Summary

Sepsis is a serious health problem with a very high mortality in the ICU. The most important treatment for sepsis is the fastest possible antibiotic therapy. The identification of the pathogen responsible for sepsis is essential to propose an appropriate antibiotic treatment. However, the diagnosis of bacteremia by blood culture requires an average delay of 48 to 72 hours. The new test proposed by OCEAN Dx makes it possible to identify a bacteremia in a few hours. The main objective of the study is to evaluate the performance of the rapid identification test for bacteremia proposed by OCEAN Dx compared to a classic diagnostic strategy using blood cultures.

Rapid sepsis diagnostic test

The different stages of the OCEAN Dx whole blood bacterial identification test. Identification is carried out using 9 ml of whole blood taken at the patient's bedside, and is provided after comparing the DNA sequence of the bacteria with a database. The rapid sepsis diagnostic test developed by OCEAN Dx can identify the bacteria responsible for the infection in just 4 hours at present, and soon in 3 hours. Subject to future innovations, it will probably even be possible to obtain a positive result for the presence of bacteria in the patient's sample in just 2 hours.
